I think cody is good vs sim. I only watched like 30 seconds of you vs sim and i see your problem already. You dont use zonk knuckle to beat sim’s normals. Here is another good trick vs sim. If you are full screen when sim throws fireball your hard punch rock throw will arc over his fireball and put free tick damage on sim. You have to throw the rock at the right time though. It is right when the fireball is at the middle of the screen.
ALWAYS use u2 vs sim. it counters alot of stuff he does. It punishes almost every thing he does
The zonk can be a good tool but he won’t let you get close enough. The hard part is getting in. Zonk is not reliable in this case unless your close, even then it’s un reliabe since he can bait out the zonk and get away. Neither is that rock thing he stated. Just chill in the back for a second and turtle it out. Work your way in by walking and focusing. The match should feel slow. You can poke is feirce with cr.mp at max range. As your working your way I’m throw out pokes to prevent him from jumping. Once you’ve cornered him it should be fairly easy to keep him there. My suggestion is to use overhead rarely.
@ghost.
Who’s sim are you playing against? Any sim that will allow a zonk can’t be a good one. I don’t even a mediocre sim would either. If you want I can refer a good one to you
Nooooo , its not the wrong info you can use zonk from far away and counter alot of sim’s pokes on reaction. You just cant zonk sim’s pokes if he does fireball. WtF i dont know why i try to be help in here.
EDIT: i think poeple get confued about zonk knuckle cause it sucks online. If there is even a small delay in zonk knuckle comming out you wont counter shi%. All my info will only help you offline. I dont play online and i have no problem countering sim’s pokes with zonk knuckle. Expecially the jump hard punch i see you get hit by alot.
i don’t play online either. Imo, you’re from Cleveland so I don’t know what top sim player you’re playing. He must be under the radar, so are you. You might be a great player for all I know, but Those tactics don’t work. Zonk is unnecessary.
Just reading your tactics, sound unsafe. So what happens when the sim player catches on to your little trick of zonks? After a bate what will you do next? You should be around -8 or more. His super can catch you if he blocks it. On top of that, U2 can catch your zonk unless it’s ex, and for the most part I doubt you’ll be landing any ex.
I’m not saying your not helping, by all means I think you show a lot of support by posting. Thing is I don’t thing your strategy is the “go to” strategy. What may work for you, might not work for others.
top sim player?. The worst sim player and the best sim player use the same moves… Catches my trick? I can charge and fight a whole match with out using it. I always charge because i watch for moves that i know it will counter. I am not trying to insult you i am just telling you what i do vs sim. I am not some sort of pro player ,im just a normal dude. If this guy was playing pro opponents he wouldnt be posting his vids on here asking what poeple think. And i could tell the sim he played sucked. It would be harder vs “the best” sim player, but it would still work because a counter is a counter. It doesnt matter who gets hit by it. You dont do zonk unless you are 100% sure it will hit.
If he just walks in sim will do fireball down hard punch all day and it will back him up. To me your strat is common sense. everyone tries to walk in on sim. You will get hit if you focus attack and you will get pushed back if you try to block. I have seen sabin do it to poeple all the time in matches i have watched online. walking in will work sometimes but you cant always do that.
EDIT: oh and about the rock thing. It does work but if the sim predicts it he will teleport behind you. So it becomes a good mind game to bait sim to come in close to you. If sim teleport’s behind you when you throw hard rocks sim will get a free combo. But the way to use the rock trick is hit sim with chip rocks afew times. Then do fake bad stone at same time to bait sim. I give long range tips cause close in you know what to do.
^^ woh woh, you’re taking it the wrong way. I understand you’re giving your input.
Sim players will play the keep away game. I understand you’ll do something on reaction such as zonk, but what happens if he baits out the reaction. I’m just giving input on what EVERYONE should try. I think that type of strategy can work for you alone, that should be fine for you.
The rock thing AGAIN is not a good mind game.
No sim will teleport towards you unless you’re on the recovery frame, or on the starting frame. Knowing that Cody will do lots of damage, the teleportation gimic is out of the question. Most likely it would not work. Again it may work for you, but chances are slim that it’ll work on others. PRO or NOT.
He should be fully recovered once the fireball is in mid screen, the problem here is that once you actually pick up the rock, he has enough time to hit you out of it with his normals.
@ghost, I get it, your a regular dude. The thing is we need a more efficient input than what you’re giving out. Of course the zonk will work on reaction, but that’s if you guess right. I think you’re putting Zonk way too high of a counter. You don’t have to pro man, you just gotta think about all the options a good Sim player can offer, EVEN IF HE’S NOT PRO.
ok your reaosnable and i dont wanna argue on this subject. But about the rock thing, you have to be almost full screen and his normals wont reach you. I wish i could make a vid for you cause you are reasonable and i know it sounds crazy but it does work. Walking in will get you hurt alot of the time, so idk what to say. You walk in and sim pushes you back. You focus atatck and he does fireball and pokes with normals. Walking in is the strat that everyone first thinks of. Im sure dude has tried that. You are very respectfull so dont want to argue. I respect your opinion and i took it all in.

Man, all that counterhit-fishing really hurts against a good Honda. The sumo dude gets to mix up between ochio and headbutts, so it’s risky to bait headbutts, too.
While tossing rocks at Blanka is generally not too great an idea, I wonder if you could’ve stopped some of those basically-free headbutt chips Honda got in by throwing just a FEW more rocks at him. Make him hesitant to throw those out at random. I’m no expert, thouggh, so, pinch of salt and all that.
Next is the newest match by Vlke aka Via Vendetta aka miorya. He also has some new videos added that he hasn’t posted to the forum

The next is an ordinary cody fight video, but the guy accidentally demonstrates cody’s U2 being used as a jump back punisher by having only the high rocks off the initial kick land. I think if it wasn’t a game winning hit the whole thing might have comboed
I dont like the " your from cleveland" stigma but i have to say after playing a a+ sim online i agree with you. I can admit when im wrong and i was. you have to just get in close on sim and rush him down. Focus his jabs when at med range and gain distance anyway you can.
